					<description><![CDATA[The former head of the national Republican Party has plugged Newt Gingrich as one possible vice presidential pick for likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. “I think of it as six words: Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,” Haley Barbour said on Tuesday’s “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC. Barbour, a lobbyist, served as chair of the Republican National Committee in 1993-97 before becoming governor of Mississippi between 2004-12. Gingrich, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995-99, co-wrote the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The billionaire presidential candidate who prides himself on paying his own way and bashed his competition for relying on political donors now wants their money — and lots of it. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, recently hired a national finance chairman, scheduled his first fundraiser and is on the cusp of signing a deal with the Republican Party that would enable him to solicit donations of more than $300,000 apiece from supporters. His money-raising begins right away. The&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Donald Trump, the Republicans&#8217; presumptive presidential nominee, says he&#8217;s narrowed his list of potential running mates to &#8220;five or six people,&#8221; all with deep political resumes. He says he has not ruled out New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a former rival who has embraced the billionaire&#8217;s campaign with gusto. &#8220;I have a list of people that I would like,&#8221; Trump said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.

In a statement released by his campaign, Trump says, &#8220;Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people.&#8221; Trump says Americans have been &#8220;been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for&#8230;]]></description>

For Democratic leader Hillary Clinton, wins in most of Tuesday&#8217;s contests would leave little doubt that she&#8217;ll be her party&#8217;s nominee. Rival Bernie Sanders&#8216; team has sent mixed signals about his standing in the race, with one top adviser suggesting a&#8230;]]></description>
